I sure hope not, as nothing would be better than a batch of killer Todd tunes. The apologists defending the recent poor Todd products really know better. To be Todd fans in the first place they know great music when they hear it. They just don't want to admit our hero seems to be a spent musical force.

It would sound better with a big organ sound like Beloved Infidel rather than the cheap Casio keyboard it sounds like our hero is playing. A man would simply have to be as mad as a hatter to buy this Global platter.

Those days - for everyone - pass irretrievably.<br />I love every moment I spent watching Todd live and listening to his albums, but it`s time for us old-timers to move on.<br />Thank-you, Todd, for everything. You were enormously important to me once upon a time. I even liked swaths of reProduction because they echoed days gone by.<br />Now, with respect and love, I`m saying good-bye.from 23rdnoreply@blogger.com
